Tiny Angel

Tiny Angel rest your wings

sit with me for awhile.

How I long to hold you hand,

and see your tender smile.

Tiny Angel, look at me,

I want this image clear

That I will forget your precious

face

is my biggest fear.

Tiny Angel can you tell me,

Why you have gone away?

You weren’t here for very long

Why is it, you couldn’t stay?

Tiny Angel shook his head,

“These things I do not know

but I do know that you love me

and that I love you so.”
